@rafth13 @troovus So, I think the “Population” is the total number that actually voted. The “Labour” plus “Conservative” total deducted from the “Population” is other parties. Most of that will be Reform.

@troovus I did my master's thesis on this! I haven't ran the numbers on the last election as of yet, but the answer is zero (0) since 2019!!

In 1906, 29 Labour MPs were elected. Among them were: 2 engineers 3 miners 2 shipwrights 1 shoemaker 1 cooper 2 textile workers 2 gas workers 2 railwaymen 3 compositors 1 steel smelter 1 journalist 1 iron moulder What proportion of Labour MPs today are from manual trades? 1/2
